I can create TRSDOS 2.3, 1.3, 2.7 and 2.8 as well as       NEWDOS, LS-DOS and other OS floppies that work on a real TRS-80 but I can't       make CP/M Plus diskettes        that will boot. I've tried creating them in an emulator that can use a real       floppy drive and I've also tried SuperCard Pro which has never failed me       before.

He included two sets of floppy disk       definitions to access the physical hardware. The ones normally used are       optimized for typical Tandy disk        structures and begin with an "F". The ones you want begin with a "v", and       will handle nonstandard formats, but are a bit slower. I just made a copy if       disk 1 on a system with 360K floppy disk running Win98 on an Asus mobo.              Larry              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
